Customers are giving lot of attention these days to a granite or marble island with the aim of making it to be the focal point. The task of fabricating an island, specially if your island is more than 10 feet long, has few challenges which at times can be frustrating. We’re talking about the frustration you can feel when you’re forced to have a seam right smack in the middle of your gorgeous new natural stone island countertop. Nobody likes seams. They may not be blaringly obvious. But they can be seen, they can be felt, and you’ll know they are there even if your friends and family proclaim, “That? You can barely even see it.” So, what’s the key to avoiding annoyance for the lifetime of your kitchen? Advanced planning.
